AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn played it safe with most of its nagging injuries last week against Western Carolina, resting players with minor bumps and bruises to get them ready for the second half of the season.

Tigers coach Gus Malzahn offered an update on the bulk of those players on Wednesday night.

High-profile players Montravius Adams and C.J. Uzomah both returned to practice this week and are likely to make the trip to College Station.

Both Adams and Uzomah are likely healthy; after the Western Carolina game, Malzahn said they were held out to make sure they would be 100 percent going forward.

But a few others are up in the air.

Cornerback Jonathan Jones, who returned against Ole Miss only to miss last week's win over Western Carolina, has returned to practice but may not make the trip to Texas.
